Life was going smoothly, everything was perfect.
Sanskar was excellently controlling his Anger issue, even his acting career was on its peak, well that's what Swara thought untill one evening when she came back from her promotion party.

“You came an hour later and you were out with  guys!” Sanskar roared, bringing his fist down to a kitchen counter.

“It’s just my co-workers, it was just a party, calm down!” Swara said in a calm manner “I texted you that I’m going to come later.”

“Yeah, you texted that you will come at eight and you came at nine and then I find out you were on a date with some dudes!”

“It wasn’t a date for God sake, you think if I was cheating on you then why I’d just tell you?” She snapped back. She knew she should just try to calm down but she was pissed off. She got a promotion today and wanted to celebrate with her husband , but then her co-workers demanded a party and she was just stuck.

She was finally home in search of peace under her husband embrace but oh! her unlucky fate.
She understood where Sanskar was coming from and that he had another episode so she didn’t mean those things but she just couldn’t help it.

“Oh, so you admit that if you were cheating on me, you wouldn’t tell me, huh?” Sanskar glared at her.

“Well, that is what cheating is about, you don’t tell your partner!” seems like her tongue wasn't under her control.

“So how the damn hell I know that you are not cheating on me?may be you f*cked them too." Sanskar shouted, shaking with anger.

“I am not but if you’ll keep acting like an asshole, I might!” Swara spitted out before she could stop herself, cause she lost it.

"You bi*ch!!!"

Slap

Swara's hand flew to her sore cheek that was getting red with imprint of Sanskar's hand.
She was staring at the him in disbelieve.

Sanskar was looking at her with wide eyes, instantly brought back to reality. Swara saw the emotions changing in his eyes.

“San-“ Swara breathed out and stretched out a hand towards him but Sanskar backed off, looking around with panic, completely shocked with what he just did.

“Sanku, wait-“ she rushed to the entry hall where he disappeared. Sanskar put on shoes and jacket. He looked at Swara with pained and guilty expression and stormed out of the apartment.

Swara ran to the hallway and shouted for him but he never came back.

She felt tears burning in her eyes when she went back to their apartment. She went to the freezer and took out the ice pack to put on the sore cheek.

Sanskar has never slapped her or hurt in any other way before.

She was shocked but at the same time, she had it coming. What she told to him was ugly, she should’ve controlled her emotions.

She basically implied that she’d cheat on Sanskar because he acted like an asshole which wasn’t true. He’d never do that, especially because she knew his episodes were caused by the disorder and he shouldn’t have said anything like that.

Swara was waiting for Sanskar for hours, hoping that he’d walk it out and come home. But hours went by and still nothing and Swara was getting desperate.

She saw the look in Sanskar's eyes, she knew he was guilty and disgusted with himself and she was worried that he might do something stupid.

She knew that she messed up.

Swara took out the phone to call him and noticed a message from Sahil.

Hey Swara wanna inform you that Sanskar had a very bad fight with the director and he just kicked out Sanskar. Please take care of him.

Now Swara was more guilty she called Sanskar but his phone was unreachable..

After that she dialled a familiar number and waited for couple of rings until it was answered.

“Laksh bhai?” Swara got out in shaky voice.

“Swara ? Did something happen?” Laksh asked with concern, immediately sensing that something was wrong, especially because it was after midnight.

“Have you heard from Sanskar?" she asked.

“Um, no, did he have another episode?”

“Yeah, a bad one, we fought and he ran away like four hours ago and I haven’t heard from him since then”

“Did you try the other guys?” he asked.

“Not yet, I figured you’d be the first one he’d reach out to,” Swara shook her head, making a mental note to call all their friends. She sighed and continued “bhai, it was really bad this time. He...he hit me.”

“He hit you?!” Laksh exclaimed. This has never happened before and as much as he loved his little brother, he loved Swara as well so the fact that Sanskar hurt her pissed him off.

“It wasn’t even that hard and frankly I don’t care. I said some fu*ked up shit, he was already stressed, I should’ve known better since the doctor was warning us but, bhai...” Swara was speaking quickly, her throat getting tighter “I am really  worried because as soon as he did it, he came back and he was...I never saw him like this, he was terrified and so guilty and I am worried that he might do something stupid.”

“I’ll try to call him, okay? We will find him, he will be okay,” Laksh tried to calm her down.

“He was always so worried about hurting me during one of his outbursts and you know how guilty he always is after a simple fight...this is so much worse, hyung,” Swara sniffled, tears rolling down her cheeks freely now.

“We will find him,” Laksh repeated “Let the other  know, he might show up at one of our places.”

“Just...if you reach him or he shows up, let me know, okay? I need to know that he’s alright" she pleaded.

“Of course, Swara. Are you gonna be alright?”

“Yeah, I will,” Swara nodded, flopping down on the couch. They said quick goodbyes and Swara leaned back, staring at the ceiling.

Her cheek was still burning little bit but she didn’t care about that at all right now, she knew Sanskar, she knew how the fights have always affected him and she was scared right now because Sanskar wouldn’t forgive himself for hurting her.
